UC Series Concepts

The UC Series Concepts and Specifications originate at the Office of the President and include information about the typical duties found in a job title, factors (including degrees of autonomy, decision-making and responsibility) that influence the level at which a position is classified, and general qualifications for an employee assigned to a particular job classification. Classification criteria separate one classification from another. They also help determine the appropriate classification for a particular position.

The Series Concepts and Specifications can be viewed online through UCR’s Title and Pay Plan. With the exception for local specifications, the Series Concepts and Specifications reside on UC Irvine's web site. The Series Concepts and Specifications from UC Irvine are generally applicable to UCR except in cases where local specifications have been developed that are unique to either UCR or UCI. However, please contact Human Resources with any questions concerning the applicable Series Concepts and Specifications for a particular job family.
